"Nice stay in a value for money guest house."

7.0

Excellent location and friendly staff. Very clean and tidy with decent freshly cooked breakfast.

Room was compact and bathroom very compact (although shower was fine). Breakfast would have benefited from a little more fruit, some nuts/seeds and maybe a pastry.

"Excellent hotel as a base in the lakes"

9.0

Very comfortable, quiet, super clean hotel with nice staff. The hotel is perfectly located near the trailheads of some walks, the bus station, a recreation centre and plenty of cafes and restaurants as well as supermarkets. Breakfast was delicious, the staff was very nice and we would definitely recommend the hotel as a base in Ambleside (especially if you’re on a car-free holiday!)

While breakfast was delicious, we would have loved the hours to be more flexible (a little longer and especially starting a little earlier than 8 a.m.) and we would have liked there to be more fresh fruit. But all in all our stay was fantastic.
